Hi Bonnie,
Got your message. Thanks for the vote. I really appreciate it. All the dogs are fine. Alfie has been to his first training session and did great.

Have a lovely day, and thanks again.

Hi again,

Will keep this short as I've had a couple of drinks with Malcolm. Will try and think of some tips for you on the marketing angle and get back to you tomorrow. I may be able to offer some advice that could help. Leave it with me. It's after 9 p.m. here now and I'm getting sleepy, been a long day with all the dogs etc.

Be in touch tomorrrow.

Best regards

Sorry to hear you've had internet problems, frsutrating isn't it? Glad Ginger's trtying hard to be good. alfie's not too bad with his cough today. I'm about to go out for a drink with my best friend, so I'm escaping from the madhouse for a couple of hours. Glad the flu's almost gone, sorry about the allergies though. About the only thing that I'm allergic to is wasp stings, which cause a severe asthmatic reaction in me.
Take care

Just dropped in to say hello. Also just saw the pic of Lucy, another doggie friend I see! Hope your flu is much better now, and that Ginger's ok too.

Alfie is still finding his feet, and has a bit of kennel cough as well. He must have picked itup at the rescue centre.

Have a great day.

Alfie had another good night. Tired this morning though as he hasn't much 'meat' on him yet. We'll soon fix that. apart from my writing and the dogs, I don't have much time for other pursuits I'm afraid. Have a great day.

Thanks for the comments on the photos. You can see how thin he is fromthe one where he's standing up.

That's some phone, and glad you liked the photos of Alfie. He's now asleep, flat out, and his paws are twtching, so he's happily dreaming of something happy I hope.

Glad you got some sleep. Just put two pics opf Alfie on my page. You can see how bony and emaciated he is, but we'll soon build him up. He's delightful, with great character, and loves everyone.

Love the new pics of Ginger with her toys. She is cute. Sorry she had an accident again. Alfie stayed dry all night which was great, and he's now sitting by my side. Will put a pic of him up later. He's so thin, poor baby. He'll take some building up, and he has a bit of kennel cough too.
Best regards and hope you slept better.

Ah, so you know what we're up against. Trouble is Alfie is 12-18 months old, so it';s a bit harder. We had the same thing with Penny and it took longer than with a puppy, about 6 weeks. Hope youhave a great day too, and get some sleep tonight.
Best regards

Hi Bonnie,

I didn't realise that Ginger was so young. She's a cutie.

Well, we now have our new dog with us. We eventually named him Alfie, and I hope to put a pic of him on the site tomorrow. He's even thinnner than we first thought, no more than three inches across his back over his rear end, poor little mite, and we gave him a bath when we got him home, and under his fur there's hardly anything to him, and that's after a month of being wellfed at the sanctuuary, so you can imagine what he must have been like when they first got him.

He seems quite well adjusted though and our other dogs accepted him straight away, without so much as a bark. He's lived on the streets for a while so we have to house train him from scratch!

We took all four for a walk on the field where I shot that video of the others playing and let him off his lead and he stayed with us and the dogs all the time.

So, fingers crossed, he looks as though he might fit in nicely.

Best regards

Brian

Glad Ginger's having fun. I like those funny Bedlington stickers. They can be quite amusing. Only four hours before we go to pick up the new rescuedog.

Ginger is defintely a gorgeous girl, and yes, charlie isindeed a very special, precious little dog. Thanks for saying so,
At 12:02pm on May 18, 2008, Brian L Porter said…

Yes, poor little Charlie had been kept outside by his previous owners. One day they found him collpased in the garden, and took him to a vet who admitted him for a week as he was serioulsy ill. They never went back for him and he ended up in the rescue sanctuary. We came along and now he has a loving home, but his legs will never be as mobile as they should be. People think his way of runing is cute and funny, which I suppose it is, but it hides a lot of hurt in his past.

Glad you enjoyed the video. It's hard to catch them at just the right time. Dylan was at home sleeping. Charlie has that funny stiff-legged type of run because he was vert ill before we got him and his legs joints are a bit stiff, but they don't stop him having fun!
At 3:15pm on May 17, 2008, Brian L Porter said…

Can't wait to get him. The video is now uploaded.
At 11:57am on May 17, 2008, Brian L Porter said…

Sorry to hear you've not been well. Hi to you too. I shot a short video of three of the dogs playing on the field today. If I get time I'll be uploading it tomorrow. Might bring a smile to your face. Tilly has been doing her 'demo' dog bit today at dog training, showing the newbies all the stuff they have to learn. she loves showing off!
We are getting another rescue dog on Monday. We found him at the sanctuary today. He's another scruffy terrier type. We're going to call him Monty. Will post pics when we have him.

Have a great day.

I'm not a great photographer, but I love nature, and love watching David Attenborough's TV documentaries.
